Learn more about Elad Lassry (Israeli, ).
Lassry investigates the opposing pictorial realms of the analog and the digital to create a tension that unfolds within the photographic space. In his staged photographs, collages made from found material, and intimately crafted films, Lassry employs seemingly mundane subject matter such as publicity shots, portraits of animals, nondescript landscapes, and still lifes of vegetables.
The artist liberates each image from its existing visual history by negating origin, authorship and intentionality. Presented in the same context as his photographic work, the film serves as two interchangeable portraits that provide a relational narrative devoid of resolution. Elad Lassry b. Lassry currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California.
